Austin’s housing market is no longer the red-hot story it once was. Prices that soared in 2021 are now cooling fast. Buyers feel the change with more choices and more time to decide. Sellers, on the other hand, face longer waits and deeper cuts.
According to the data available on Reventure App, 2025 is shaping up as another year of decline. From Travis County to Williamson, every corner of the metro is adjusting. The question is simple: how much further will values fall? Let’s break down the latest data and see where Austin’s market is heading.
Austin, TX’s Home Value Growth YoY Dropped to -5.8% in 2025

The sharpest swing came in 2021, when values jumped 40.3%. That was the peak of the market. By 2022, the pace slowed to 15.2%. In 2023, prices crashed to -13.0% before showing a small recovery in 2024 with -4.6%. The 2025 figure of -5.8% confirms that the market is still under pressure.
This trend reflects a reset after years of fast growth. Buyers are more cautious. Mortgage rates and higher living costs have changed demand. Sellers now face longer waits and more price cuts. The market is trying to balance, but the data shows weakness remains. Austin housing is no longer at its peak.
